Thank You
This is just a big shout out to all you hard dick warriors out there. In just over a month and a half, we've already made tremendous strides on this page and with this very first project, and we've got all of you kind, kind folks to thank for that. It's been an amazing, confusing, upsetting, scary, tricky, exciting, and all around crazy time since March. Knowing we'd want to take our efforts in this new direction, having to start things completely over as we knew them. It wasn't gonna be easy, and we knew that, but we felt that even with just a small percentage of you guys around, we'd at least have a chance.
And you all have turned out in great numbers and to an amazing degree. Couldn't ask for a more devoted and caring group of supporters. Sincerely, this one's for you guys.
Well, the girls wanted to thank you all for voting for them number 1 in the character portrait poll, and so they got together and posed for this lovely pic together (I like to think Dani's holding the Camera? That's my head canon, as I think Dani would get along well enough with both Val and Ember, assuming they weren't all trying to kill each other at once). Valerie suggested the classic hand heart maneuver, but Ember... ehhh, you put a lens in front of her always camera-ready face, she's just gonna roll how Ember rolls. She's not exactly up on the modern trends with the youth these days, so you can't exactly blame her, and I don't think we'd have it any other way.
I personally like to think Valerie's doing a sincere smile for this picture. There was debate as to whether or not we make her expression clearly faux or not, because Valerie just can't be bothered for this kinda silly stuff. But thought it best to make it a real smile and not sell so much that she's putting on a show, I mean she really is happy she got voted in twice at the top of the rankings. We did think that one of her signature moves will be the "Giant Goo Goo Eyes" look, with sparkling glitters around her face whenever she needs something. But for now, she's just happy to be appreciated.
(So am I, as Valerie's resident IRL boyfriend, of course. Heh. -Morah)
Ember's flaming pony tail was the last thing to get made in this photo, and again, I like the look of her hair and being what separates her regular hair from the proper “flame” we’ve adopted. But don’t worry… Danny will still be able to grab a hold of it… 😎👌🏻
